Nana Kegya urged every unemployed youth to visit their various centers to fill registration forms to be a member of the De-eye group who will at every time link them up to employment opportunities of their specification when the need arises.

Background

De-Eye group Limited, the company at the centre of the recent documentary by journalist, Manasseh Awuni Azure has sued Multimedia group of companies and Manasseh Azure Awuni over claims made in the documentary.

In the documentary, Manasseh Azure alleged that the company was training a pro-government militia group operating from the Osu Castle, a former seat of government.

Both the government and the De-Eye group have denied the allegations, insisting that the company is a recruitment agency which is not a threat to Ghana’s security.

De-Eye group in its writ indicated that the company is not a “militia group” as suggested in the documentary.
